My husband and I got married August 3, 2019 here. They were great throughout the whole planning process and helpful with all the questions I asked them. The food was also amazing. I had a lot of good compliments on the food.
Rose H – August 2019
We enjoyed having our wedding ceremony and reception at Fox Hill Event Center. We received many compliments on the venue and the grounds. Catering must be done by the venue which limited our options but all of our guests raved about the food as well. We really enjoyed having the outdoor space available and it made for beautiful pictures. Overall, we were satisfied with the quality and value of the venue.

Everyone at the Fox Hill & Blue Heron team flawlessly brought our love story to life. It is an effortless art for them to execute such a detailed production. The positive feedback from our guests was endless. It was the perfect template to watch the magic of our love story unfold for all to celebrate. And we couldn’t have done it without the creativity, patience, understanding and expertise of this team. To Julie & Brian Williams, Julie Kearns, and everyone else that made our dreams a reality – thank you.
Laura Rowland & Jayson Doty – November 2017
Our daughter, Sarah, and her husband, Cole, just had the wedding of their dreams with the reception at Fox Hill. Everything was perfect! The owner was very helpful and the hall was beautifully decorated. Julie is so easy to work with! Our guests, including one 5-star chef, raved about the food catered by Blue Heron. All agreed that it was the best banquet food ever. Featuring items such as pecan chicken, brown rice salad, scrumptious potatoes au gratin, roasted vegetables, beef brisket and a lovely selection of fresh breads, the buffet was reasonably priced and with a touch of gourmet. We cannot say enough about Fox Hill and Blue Heron. We hope to be invited to more weddings there to enjoy the fun, festivities and food.
Janice Smith – October 2015
Brian & Juile, we can’t thank you enough for making our wedding wonderful. The minute I walked in your beautiful facility, I fell in love. I wanted to have my wedding there. Then meeting Juile topped it all. She is such a kind hearted, caring, helpful individual. We had so many compliments on how beautiful the grounds are and how delicious the food was. Again, thank you for a wonderful being to our new life.
Keith & Ashley Carver, June 2015
I could not have chosen a more outstanding venue for the wedding. Julie the owner, and her assistant Andrea were so amazing through everything. Very helpful, and flexible! My rehearsal dinner guest list got bumped up by 25 and wouldn’t fit everyone where I had planned, Andrea made a few calls and had us a place to go within 15 minutes…. SUCH AMAZING customer service! And it is an absolutely stunning area to boot!! My pictures so far have turned out absolutely beautiful, and I had so many compliments on the food!! Everyone was saying it was the best they have ever had at a wedding!! ABSOLUTELY outstanding!!!! If you choose this site you will not be disappointed. The ownership and management of this venue turned my special day into the absolute best day of my life.
Mr. & Mrs. Pullano, June 2015
Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day more perfect than we imagined! Working with you was an absolute pleasure. You were always so helpful and quick to respond to us! Planning a wedding from across the country is no easy task, but you made the whole process so much easier for us. All of your recommendations, and your staff were wonderful. The food, oh my, the food! It was sensational! We still have people telling us it was the best wedding food they have ever had and I couldn’t agree more. Our entire experience with you, and with Fox Hill and the Blue Heron Cafe went above and beyond our expectations and we are genuinely grateful for everything. The whole day was perfect and absolutely gorgeous.
Brent & Caroline Teunis, August 2014
Thanks so much for all your help in making our wedding such a success! Everyone was complimenting Fox Hill, the beautiful landscaping and wonderful scenery for pictures, and the Blue Heron too with the “amazing” food! Just wonderful! Thank you for such a beautiful start to our marriage.
The Kibbe’s – July 2014
The food provided by Blue Heron was beyond expectations! Our guests were very pleased with the quality, taste, and variety. The food options we had to choose from were plentiful and affordable.
The owner did everything in her power to make our day as perfect and as special as she could. She was very flexible, and very open to our ideas. The staff was very professional and helped our day go as smoothly as possible. Throughout the entire day, she had a designated staff member, along with herself, available and ready in case something went wrong. She was one of the best event coordinators we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and we definitely recommend Fox Hill Event Center to anyone.
Sarah & Joshua Dorow – June 2014
We had a beautiful fairy-tale wedding and the best day in the history of the world. And we wish exactly the same kind of wonderful for the next bride and groom at Fox Hill. Everyone should get married there! We LOVED our wedding. Wasn’t it just awesome?

Thank you so much for everything you did for our special day. The whole day was perfect. I could not have asked for a better day. You and your staff were amazing and I’m so thankful you were all there to help everything run so smoothly, and the food was amazing! I could not have asked for better weather, a prettier venue, or better people to work with to make this whole day so magical. I cannot thank you enough for how wonderful the whole day was. Please let your staff know how wonderful they are. Again, thank you so much for all your hard work. You are amazing!!!
Matt & Lindsay Umlauf – May 2014
We had an absolutely fabulous time at our wedding here! We have heard nothing but compliments since our special day. Planning this wedding 2,000 miles away, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect, but this “destination wedding” turned out perfectly and we couldn’t have done it without you, Julie and Brian! You really went the extra mile and we appreciate everything. Thank you again!

Joe and Leslie Voiles – July 2012
I haven’t even been married a week and I have received an abundance of phone calls of nothing but great things to say about our wedding and reception at Fox Hill. I have been asked, if you could change anything about the day what would you change? Absolutely NOTHING! It was everything I have ever wanted for my wedding day and Gary and I couldn’t be more happy with everything. The food was amazing, the venue looked so beautiful and was a great setup, and everything went so perfect it’s almost too good to be true. Julie was a huge help throughout the planning process and went over and above for us. Our whole experience was something we will never forget. Thank you so much Julie and Brian (Blue Heron Cafe), for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

Also, the cleanliness and attractiveness of your entire facility, including the tables, the serving area and the excellent food items–all worked together to make our guests feel welcome and appreciated. Thank you for a most delicious dinner.
We look forward to many more happy times with you.

The Cadillac Area Community Foundation held the 2009 Philanthropist of the Year Celebration at Fox Hill Event Center October 15th and was overwhelmed with the service and professionalism of Julie and Brian Williams and their staff. Local owners Julie and Brian Williams have created an outstanding facility and combined it with “to die for dining experience”. Julie worked with our staff and Board members to create exactly the right atmosphere and physical appearance from the color of the tablecloths and napkins to the type and color of the floral centerpieces. They provided access for delivery of special equipment and have installed a terrific sound system for presentations. As this is their first year in business, they are constantly looking for ideas and suggestions from their clients for ways to improve their service and facility. The Cadillac area has embraced this new business endeavor and welcomes a new and different location to hold our Special events. Kudos to Julie and Brian!
Linda L. Kimbel, Executive Director, Cadillac Area Community Foundation
Chris and I had a birthday party for 100 people at Fox Hill and every part of our experience exceeded our expectations. Brian and Julie were accommodating with our plans and their facility. The food Brian prepared was beautifully displayed and delicious. Our friends are still talking about his creative dishes. Sophisticated and affordable. Thank you Brian and Julie for building a gorgeous event center in Cadillac. One word for Fox Hill……..Bravo!
Katy Huckle
Fox Hill was the perfect place for our employee party. The facility is a great size with lots of windows for a spectacular view and a nice setting. We had a band with plenty of room for dancing, people playing cards and networking tables – all going at once. The food was exceptional, especially for our strict requirements and limited diets for health. We really couldn’t have expected anything more. It was a great party.
Carolyn Richards, Owner, Pine Grove Athletic Club
Every year our company, Dynamic Physical Therapy, has a post holiday party for our employees. This year we had the pleasure of holding our party at the new Fox Hill Event Center in Cadillac, Michigan.
The facility is spacious with an elegant open air feel, but not like that of a traditional banquet hall. The lighting can be adjusted to set the mood you desire. The elegance spreads out on to the patio and surrounding grounds, unfortunately our party was in January so we were not able to take advantage of this additional space.
The food was simply wonderful. The chef, Brian, had prepared a unique combination of eclectic dishes that satisfied every palate. The food was served from several stations, each with it’s own theme, a very nice touch. The wait staff was very attentive and accommodating.
In this day and age of cookie cutter restaurants and banquet facilities, it is refreshing to see that there are people like Brian and Julie Williams that will take the extra step to make your event “special”. Our experience was excellent, and we will be back. Thank you.
Michael Battaglia, Administrator, Dynamic Physical Therapy
I had the opportunity to utilize Fox Hill Event Center on May 5th for a staff celebration. It is a beautiful building and a welcome to this community! I was amazed at the taste and detail of the facility. The staff were accommodating! The food for our breakfast was wonderful! (Hot and extremely well presented, not to mention the price was affordable). Do not judge the acoustics of the facility when you first visit. We had a group of 40-55 and had no problem at all. I will be anxious to use it again when all of the grasses and landscaping has matured. The grounds are laid out for a variety of uses.
